Publishers Description: In the late 1960s, twenty-six-year-old Larry Denis Campbell was convicted of thefta minor charge under Australian law. How, then, does he end up spending two years locked away in the Boggo Road Gaol, a prison notorious for physical and sexual violence How can a deaf man even be convicted on the basis of fifteen trumped-up confessions And most importantly, what does Campbells experience say about justice in Queensland, Australia The Dream Breaker exposes the multilayered, systematic corruption that plagues Queenslands judiciary and penal systems. While in prison, Campbell lives through the debilitating psychological and physical effects of incarceration while personally fighting for his own cause, bravely taking on an establishment that shelters dishonest law enforcement and government officials while ordinary citizens pay the price. Now in his seventies, Campbell has spent his life educating himself about criminology, human rights, and social justice and has become a voice for desperately needed prison and penal system reform. Through his memoir, readers will discover the truth about his experience and realize his ordeal is far from unusual. In Queensland, twisted justice is shockingly common, and Larry Denis Campbell fights to reverse a disturbing trend.
